Bore da Dear friends Fabbers and Forumites.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St David's day to all us Taffs .

It's our national day .

Pooch and I will be celebrating with a jolly Welsh wander and a bowl of Cawl, a Welsh stew .

A day for songs , poetry rejoicing in all things Welsh and of course Cwtches.

So my fellow country women and men how will you be celebrating ?

"Happy St David's Day everyone. How do you all celebrate?"

By engaging in close harmony singing at the bottom of a mineshaft.

Being serious though, it’s not a massive p*ss up like St Patrick’s Day. It tends to revolve more around cultural/arts events and general gatherings of folks really.

For example, in the town I’m from originally there’ll be a Gymanfa Ganu - a festival where people get together and sing songs. They’ll have them in places like the US, Oz too.

Usually, but I’d say it was simple, hearty fare suitable for rugged, mystical outdoor types like WalkingTaff, rather than something ostentatious and fancy.

Welsh cakes, cawl (Welsh soup) and so on. Oh, and tea - lots and lots of tea.

Cawl has both in, but other vegetables too. It’s vegetable soup really (though it can have bits of meet in), but somehow tastes of the wild mountain air and land of Snowdonia

The words are beautiful. It’s a shame you don’t hear it sung at the rugby any more:

I don't ask for a luxurious life,

the world's gold or its fine pearls,

I ask for a happy heart,

an honest heart, a pure heart.

It was spine-tingling in the old days. It’s a shame it’s been lost - a chorus of BoH and HaA is a pale imitation.

I know one of those guys well

I like it a bit more stripped down and simple than that version, if I’m honest (he felt the same!), but it was totally the right way to do it for that programme.

That’s lovely.

As far as I’m concerned, if you bring positivity, skills, a love of the landscapes, a love of the culture, an understanding of the good/bad things about the place and joy......you are Welsh.

I mean you can be German, English, American, Indian, whatever in the traditional sense of nationality, but you can be Welsh too.

This is the first time I heard about this (being non UK/non-european).

Initially I thought it was weird because Dewi Hapus in my language means Lady of Destruction.
